We were very much pained to learn of the death of our old friend, Dr. David Hogan, on July 4th, at his home in North Loup, Neb. He had a siege of typhoid fever which turned into pneumonia and he was too weak to resist its ravages. Dr. Hogan is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Hogan, of Sheridan township, and was a teacher in the county for some time. He studied medicine and has been practicing at North Loup for the past six years.

He leaves a wife and two small children in quite comfortable circumstances for he was a successful practitioner, though death came in the very prime of life. His parents are both living besides two brothers, Dan and Victor, and two sisters, Mrs. O.W. Athan and Miss Abbie Hogan, who is now touring Europe. The writer knew Mr. Hogan intimately and visited the great World's Fair at Chicago in '93 in company with him, Mrs. Athan, then Molly Hogan and Miss Lena Innes.

He was born on the farm near Admah Oct. 19, 1871, and was married March 26, 1901. He was an honest, upright, industrious and capable young man, such as the world can ill afford to lose, but Death is no respecter of persons, all must meet him sooner or later. The North Loup Loyalist says: "Too much cannot be said of one who lives the helpful, unpretentious life led by Dr. Hogan. He was a man whom one could safely trust to do the best he could do under all circumstances, and his death is deeply mourned not only by his relatives but by everyone who knew him. Four years ago he and his wife united with the Presbyterian church of this place, since which time he has been faithful to his duties, and at the time of his death he was superintendent of the Sunday School. He was a member of the I.O.O.F., A.O.U.W. and M.W.A. lodges, the members of these lodges attending his funeral in a body."
